I found the hotel to be reasonably priced with comfortable, clean rooms, though it was a bit of a trek to downtown Banff. The pool area was a letdown due to overwhelming chlorine levels that made it uncomfortable to stay. While the beds were nice, the overall condition of the facilities left much to be desired.
Rooms

The rooms were clean and comfortable, equipped with a kettle for making tea. However, controlling the room temperature was tricky.

Service at the front desk was quite unprofessional. I had a frustrating experience when trying to change my reservation, and the staff did not seem to empathize with my situation.

The location required a bit of a walk to get to downtown, but I didn't mind the fresh air. It was only about 15 minutes away.

The pool area was disappointing. The air circulation could be better, as both my family and I had burning eyes from the chlorine.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel as part of my Canada tour. The hotel features clean and tidy rooms and offers complimentary local bus services with your room key, which makes it convenient to explore the area despite being a bit further from downtown Banff. The breakfast buffet was impressive, but some aspects of the hotel, like the decor and gym, feel a bit dated. Overall, it's a good option if you don't mind a short walk or bus ride into the main area.

My stay at the Banff Caribou Lodge was a bit of a mixed bag. While the restaurant offered excellent breakfasts and I received helpful advice from staff member Joe, I encountered issues during check-in with a not-so-friendly receptionist, and the room cleanliness was hit or miss. The location was convenient for exploring Banff, but some aspects of service and facilities left much to be desired.

The room was adequate but lacked a view, as it faced another hotel and a car park. It felt a bit cramped and the cleaning service was inconsistent.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While it had a clean atmosphere and the staff tried their best, the rooms felt dated and the facilities were disappointing. The absence of a working pool and sauna during my stay was particularly letdown. Overall, I felt it wasn't worth the price we paid.
